Areas of Concentration

Child/Family

The mission of the Child and Family Track of the Clinical Psychology Training Program is to develop leaders in the area of clinical child/family psychology who generate and disseminate scientific findings related to psychosocial development, affective and physical health, and evidence-based practices.

Clinical Neuropsychology

Students in the Clinical Neuropsychology track are given specialized academic, clinical, and research training in brain-behavior relationships, cognitive/behavioral assessment, and intervention with a range of populations--from learning disabled children to young adults with traumatic brain injuries to geriatric patients with neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease). Alumni of the program have assumed positions in medical school settings, academic psychology departments, and a variety of clinical settings such as hospitals, neuropsychological clinics, rehabilitation facilities, and special education services.

Adult Behavior Disorders

The Adult Track of the Clinical Psychology Training Program exists to generate and disseminate scientifically derived information regarding psychosocial factors influencing affective and physical health, with an emphasis on ethnically and racially diverse populations. Students also assist development of evidence-based assessment, treatment, and prevention approaches for adult psychopathology and psychopathology-physical health comorbidities.
